Overview

• An oversized Halloween decoration rolled down a Parma Heights street at night before officers caught up and secured it on camera.
• On-body audio records an officer saying the pumpkin kept blowing away and that he was pretty much in pursuit.
• After attempts to deflate the decoration failed, multiple officers squeezed it into the back seat of a police car.
• The department shared the case on Facebook, praising officers for going "above and beyond" as commenters, including Bedford Police, chimed in with puns.
• Police said they returned the inflatable to the residence where it had been displayed.
